Retracing the ways in which he first encountered the realm of poetry, Sigo plumbs the particulars of modern critique, identity politics, early influences, and poetic form to produce a singular ‘autobiography of voice.’ Across these lectures, Sigo explores his childhood on the Suquamish Reservation, while paying homage to revolutionary artists, teachers, and thinkers whom have shaped his poetic aesthetic. Simultaneously timeless and extremely timely, these talks ponder the presences that California Buddhism, LGBTQ+ experiences, and Native Nations occupy in the poetic world and the world at large.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739179622673,"sku":"NGR9781950268290","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395214119185,"sku":"CIN1950268292G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51063485923601,"sku":"NIN9781950268290","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52471950508305,"sku":"NLS9781950268290","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1950268292.jpg?v=1750770238"},{"product_id":"stranger-in-town-book-cedar-sigo-9780872865365","title":"Stranger in Town","description":"The fourth installment of our Spotlight poetry series, Stranger in Town is the second full-length collection by San Francisco poet Cedar Sigo. Reflecting queer identity while eschewing all cliches, Stranger exudes an urban mysticism redolent of the SF Renaissance--particularly John Weiners--as it collages the fragmented experiences of contemporary culture.
